AUGUSTUS JENNINGS AND ISAAC J ENNIN GS, OF FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT.

IMPROVEMENT IIN PAPER PAILS,`&C.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 82,526, dated September 29, 1868.

To all whom t't may concern.:

Beit known that we, AUGUSTUS JENNINGS and ISAAC JENNINGS, ot' Faireld, in the county ot' Fairtield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper Pails, Ste. 5 and we do hereby' declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specitication.

The figure is a vertical central section of a paper pail constructed in` accordance with our invention.

Our invention has for its object to improve the construction of paper pails and othervessels, so as to make them more durable and stronger in construction, and more reliable in use; and it consists in the manner in which the bottoni is attached to the body ot' the pail, and in the manner ot' strengthening and protecting the bottoml and top edges ot' the body of the pail, the Whole being constructed Aand arranged as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the body ot' the vessel, which is made of paper, in one piece, without seam or joint, and which may be made straight or tapering, as desired, or accordin g to the particular use for which the said vessel' is intended. B is the bottom of the vessel, which is also made of paper, in the shape ot'an inverted sh allow dishthat is to say, with an outwardly-projecting tlange, as shown in the figure, said flange being so formed as to correspond with and tit into the lower part of the body A of the vessel in such a way as to lie closely against the inner side of said body, as shown in the figure 5 the lower edge of the said flange ot' the bottom B and the lower edge ot' the body A being even with each other. The body A is grooved around its lower part, just above its lower edge, and the ange otl the bottoni B is also grooved just above its lower edge, as shown in the tigure. C is a metallic binding, which is struck or spun up into such a shape as to cover the edges of the bodyA andtlange of the bottom B, overlapping the outer side of the said body and the inner side of the said flange. The turned--up sides of the binding` C are then pressed into the grooves in the bod'y A and ilange ot' the bottom B, to secure the said bottom to the said body, and to prevent the said binding from coming off, and so as at the saine time to strengthen and protect the lower edge of the pail. The body A of the pail has a groove formed around it, just beneath its upper edge, upon its inner or outer surface, or upon both. l) isa metallic binding, struck up or spun so as to t upon the upper edge ot' the pail or vessel, and the outer side or part ot' which is pressed into the groove formed in the said body A, so as to secure the said binding D securely to the said body of the said pail.

rThe body A and bottom B' are both formed of paperpulp, in the manner described in Patent No. 71,390, granted to us November `26, 1867. y

This construction we design to apply to the formation ot' water-pails, cbamberpails, water-coolers, barrels, tubs, and other vessels of cylindrical form for containing liquids, whether the sides or body vot' said vessels be made straight or tapering, and it enables paper barrels or casls to be formed with the same facility as open vessels.

This manner ot' construction may also be applied with equal advantage whether the body A be made of paper orotber material.

Having thus described our invention, we

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters l Patent- Securing the bottom or head B, formed with an outwardly-projecting flange, to the body A ot' the vessel by means ot' the metallic binding C, substantially in the manner herein shown and described.

The above specitication ot' our invention signed by us this 11th day otl March, 1868. AUGUSTUS J ENNINGS.

. ISAAC JENNINGS.
